This change among other things improve search capabilities over the manpages
allowing fine grain query.
A new build option WITHOUT_MANDOCDB has been added to keep the ancient version
of the database and the tools. The plan is to entirely remove this option before
11.0-RELEASE.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D2603
Features of this new version in favor of the old one:
BSD licensed -- old one is GPL.
Imports configuration from /etc/man.conf and LOCALBASE/etc/man.d/*.conf
allowing ports to extend the base functionality. The pluggable
configuration can supplement the manual search path (retiring use.perl),
add locales, and override language specific toolsets (attempt to merge
the japanese/man port into the base system as much as possible).
Much effort has been made to make this version mirror the functionality
of the existing implementation. For 99% of users, it should be a drop in
replacement.
